Slashman wrote on Aug 19, 2013, 11:09:For a sandbox game to be good, doesn't mean you have to have a forced plot and unlocks tied exclusively to that plot. Which is what they are doing in Rebirth. It will still likely be a great game, but I'm not happy with a single ship that you can never change in appearance and a linear plot with a linear upgrade path for said ship.

Yeah that's not my biggest thrill either, but oh well. I'll just dash through the plot to get my sandbox back.

At least the engine looks amazing, so their next X game will probably get back to us being allowed to pilot more stuff.
